"At first, she wasn't sure how seriously she should take the warnings. I assumed the fire alarm goes off all the time and there's no fire but then we started getting hundreds of texts, Tretta said. Then came a message from the university telling students to Run, hide, fight. The school went into lockdown, which lasted until the next morning."
"Four years ago, she spoke to the Guardian about the need for federal regulation of homemade firearms, known as ghost guns, one of which was used to shoot her in 2019. In my situation, we still don't know who bought the gun. We know who used it, but we can't trace it back, Tretta said in 2021. I want people to use my story to show what happens when anyone can get a gun."
Federal and local authorities in Providence are searching for the person who killed two Brown University students and injured nine others, leaving campus and community grieving and with a shattered sense of safety. Mia Tretta, a 21-year-old Brown junior, survived a 2019 mass shooting at Saugus High School that left two classmates dead and injured three others. Tretta and her roommate received active-shooter alerts and a university directive to 'Run, hide, fight,' prompting a lockdown that lasted until the next morning. Tretta has devoted herself to gun violence-prevention activism and has called for federal regulation of untraceable homemade 'ghost' guns used in her shooting.
